RealBreakingNateHOST
he, he had his own restaurant, uh, Cheeseburger in Paradise.
PokeSisterKatieHOST
I know, yeah.
RealBreakingNateHOST
Did you ever go to it?
RealBreakingNateHOST
I don't know if it's still around.
PokeSisterKatieHOST
I don't, I know the one here isn't, but there might be, like, locations elsewhere.
PokeSisterKatieHOST
I liked, there was this place in Maui, which I don't think was affiliated with him, called Cheeseburger in Paradise.
PokeSisterKatieHOST
It was in Lahaina.

Cheeseburger.
Jennifer SalisburyHOST
Lahaina was more concerning for me because it was so close to the shoreline.
Jennifer SalisburyHOST
And so that was instantly my thought was all of our favorite restaurants like Kimo's and the Yacht Club and Cheeseburger in Paradise and all these places.
Jennifer SalisburyHOST
And I went, oh my gosh, they're all in the SMA special management area in coastal zone management, which is federally regulated, but it's locally, I guess, run.
Jennifer SalisburyHOST
And so, I mean, at this point, the day of the fires, you're still at Hawaii Community Foundation.
ChrisGUEST
A Monroe? Yeah, you know the Monroe Doctrine.
JoeHOST
Oh! So, yeah, at this point, it's fully established as an international chain, and it was successful enough to warrant a spinoff, because in 2002, a Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant chain would launch in, of all places, Southport, Indiana.
JoeHOST
which I guess is near Indianapolis.
JoeHOST
And that chain would eventually have more than 20 additional locations, including one in Middleton, Wisconsin, just outside of Madison.
JoeHOST
This brand did not have the staying power of Margaritaville.
JoeHOST
In fact, that brand started in 2002, but the decline had already begun by 2009 because the brand was sold in September of that year, and then that company was sold in December of 2012.
JoeHOST
And that new owner then closed half of all of the Cheeseburger in Paradise locations in August of 2014.
JoeHOST
Most of those... were rebranded as Fuddruckers.
